Testicular torsion, or testis torsion, is an emergency condition. It happens when the spermatic cord, which provides blood flow to the testicle, rotates and becomes twisted. The twisting cuts off the testicle's blood supply and causes sudden pain and swelling.
What is NuGold? NuGold, also called red brass, Merlin's Gold, and Jeweler's Bronze, is an alloy that usually contains 85% copper and 15% zinc. It tarnishes similar to copper. I have pieces that have been in my sample trays for several months that barely show a tarnish.
Marigold is a beautiful and versatile plant in the garden. Planted as soon as the ground warms up in spring, it brightens the garden with its yellow, gold and orange blooms until the first hard frost. As beautiful as it is, marigold has long been an excellent companion plant, solving many garden pest problems.
